Probably a couple miles. Lots of folks fish from the banks or from boats here. I've been spoiled by fishing for walleye in Lake Of The Woods, sadly have never fished Ol' Man River. They catch a lot of catfish here, along with crappies and bluegill.

Am I the only one reporting snow this season? I had a SNOW DAY off of work today. Snow and lots of wind-blizzard conditions. All school districts in the area were closed. The sun did come out a little this afternoon, but now it is lightly snowing again and 28 degrees. I am happy to be inside with the dogs.

No snow yet. We were commenting on how nice it was for Halloween that the kids didn't have to tramp through the snow. We're expecting our first light snowfall by Friday here. Right now its 10C (50F) and a bit overcast. The birds are going NUTS on my feeders though so I expect it will be getting frosty ASAP.

I really thought that we would hear from some of our friends in PA and NJ, etc where it snowed just the other day too. I heard that North Jersey got a lot of snow. We have it nice here. It is beautiful for a couple of days, then snow, only to repeat it again. That is our fall weather!
